Mayor Carney Faces A Battle

A line had formed at the Clerk and Recorder’s office before it opened on Monday. Becky Erickson said she got there at 20 minutes to eight to be the first person to file for the Glasgow mayor’s race.

Erickson has served on the Glasgow City Council for 18 years, as well as on the boards of many local and state organizations.

She was soon joined in line by Melanie Sorensen, a city councilman who had decided not to run for re-election in Ward 3, the south side, but changed her mind when Erickson announced her candidacy for mayor. Sorensen has been on the City Council since 2007.
